Game does not recognize graphics card
I bought a new computer and a new nvidia 750 graphics card. The sims 3 does not recognize this card. I have looked up all the fixes on the internet to fix this issue. I am not computer savy and I can...

Do you get an actual error message stating so ? Does the game not start if you press ok on the message ?
Yes, My game says it is not in the database. The device config log says this NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 [Found: 0, Matched: 0], so I know it is not reconized by my computer. I don't know what to do because I can't fix it.
My game will start sometimes but the graphics are crappy. I can tell it is not using my new card but relying on the card that came with the computer.
So you also have an intel chip in your computer ? Is that what you mean ?
If so just try the second part of this: http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2013/06/getting-the-game-to-recognize-your-card.html where it says: You have two graphics cards
Ignore the rest.
Hello, My problem there is where it says select the preferred graphics processor ) when I open up my Nvidia control manager it does not say that. It has this instead,(specify the settings for this program). It doesn't have a number 3 under that where I can change the card to the Nvidia. My computer is a windows 8.1. Could that have something to do with it. Where do I go to change the card to the Nvidia card? I tried to copy and paste it so you could see but it wouldn't copy. Is there somewhere eles in the 3D manager that I can go to change the card. Why doesn't it have a space there where I can change it ? Please help me if you possibly can. Thank you, Linda
